Mary,
If you want to learn more about the contents of your autocomplete file, you
can open it using a utility that we developed. It can be found at
www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm. It's call Owtlook. This utility can be
used to quickly edit or add information to your autocomplete file. While
editing your file, you can change the "Name or Display As" field anyway that
you wish. In addition you can export it for use in other applications.
We were writing an import utility, but ceased our efforts because it is very
easy to populate your autocomplete file from your Outlook Contacts folder(s)
using the following work-around:
In OL, go to tools, options, mail setup, send/receive. Uncheck the "Send
immediatly when connected box". Then, press the Send/Receive Button and
uncheck "Schedule an automatic send/receive". Next disconnect your
computer from the internet by removing your network and/or telphone
connection. Open a new e-mail, press the bcc or to or cc button, select the
contact folder you would like to bring into your autocomplete file. Select
all names by highlighting first and last contact and then add them by
pressing the OK button at the bottom. With your computer disconnected,
press the send button. This will automatically populate your autocomplete
file with all of the selected e-mail addresses. Next, go to your Outbox and
delete the e-mail you just created.
Remember to put your mail settings back and plug in your removed cables.
